Find Teachable Moments

Try to find ways to incorporate lessons about money into your day-to-day life. Since so much of modern shopping and bill paying is done online, it can be harder for kids to see the financial work you're doing. Explain when you're paying bills online, comparison shopping online for items your family needs, or logging into your bank account. They might not totally get it, but they will understand that your family's finances are something that require regular time and attention. Also consider skipping the drive-through ATM and bringing your kids inside your bank to make a deposit or withdrawal with a teller, so they can see how the process works outside of a machine.
